HOW CONSERVATISM is SOMETIMES HARMFUL.
The Tippecanoe Clubs regular meeting in the
city courtroom yesterday afternoon, was at
tended by about twenty-five members. John
r. Miller delivered an address on the harmful
ness of conservatism. When great principles
are involved party politics. ne thought. should
be put aside. If conservatism had been OBJ
served the war of the Rebellion would have been
failure. In the cohct of to-day right must
prevail, and IN order that it shall, politi% will
have to be laid aside. Such principles Us those
held by Green Smith and his followeys should
be met with determination. The liqIor power,
ne thought, mad assumed the same position the
South did, aud nen should not be conservative
about denouncing it. The party chat bows to
them should not be supported by good citizens.
The result of the election in Chicago demon
strated what determination could do.
